Job 2
1 On another day, the angels came again and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
Tendreke indraike te ie nitotsak’eo o anan’ Añahareo hiatrek’ am’ Iehovà, le nitsatok’ am’ iareo ao ka i mpañinjey hiatrefa’e am’ Iehovà.
2 Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I have been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Boak’ aia v’iheo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpañinjey am’ Iehovà, Boak’ ami’ty fihelahelàko an-tane añe naho ty fijelanjelañako ama’e.
3 Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he [always] avoids doing evil things. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to [let you] cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Fa hinarahara’o hao Iobe mpitorokoy? t’ie tsy añirinkiriñañe an-tane atoy, fa ondaty vañoñe tsy aman-kila; añeveña’e t’i Andrianañahare naho ambohoa’e ty raty; vaho mbe tana’e ty havantaña’e ndra te ihe nañosik’ Ahy ama’e, handrotsak’ aze tsy aman-tali’e.
4 Satan replied to Yahweh, “He praises you only because you bless him [IDM]. People will give up everything they have to save their own lives.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpañinjey am’Iehovà, Holitse hasolo holitse, eka, hatolo’ ondaty ze hene fanaña’e ty amy fiai’e.
5 But if you harm his body [MTY], he will surely curse you openly [IDM]!”
Fe ahitio henaneo o fità’oo naho gineo ty taola’e naho ty nofo’e vaho honjira’e an-dahara’o.
6 Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), you may do to him whatever you want to do, but do not cause him to die.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy mpañinjey, Ingo an-taña’o re; fe arovo ty fiai’e.
7 So Satan left, and he caused Job to be afflicted with very painful boils, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
Aa le nienga boak’ añ’atrefa’ Iehovà i mpañinjey vaho zinevo’e am-bae-tovoañe t’Iobe mifotots’ an-dela-pandia’e pak’an-dengo’ i añambone’ey.
8 Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped the boils on his skin, and he sat in ashes [as people did when they were mourning for those who had died].
Nandrambe tseram-balàñe re hangaotse ty sandri’e, ie niambesatse an-davenoke ao.
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to (be loyal to/faithfully trust in) God? You should curse God, and then you will die.”
Le hoe ty vali’e tama’e: Mbe ifahara’o hao ty havañona’o? Injeo t’i Andrianañahare vaho mihomaha.
10 But Job replied, “You talk like people who do not know God talk. (Should we accept only the good things that God [does for us]?/We should not accept only the good things that God [does for us].) [RHQ] We should also accept bad things.” So in spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not say anything against God.
Fa hoe re tama’e, Manao tambaimbain-drakemba deren-drehe. Ty soa avao hao ty ho rambesentika am-pitàn’Añahare? Tsy hirambesañe ka hao ty raty? Amy ie iaby zay, tsy nandilatse am-pivimby t’Iobe.
11 Among Job’s friends were Eliphaz from Teman [town], Bildad from Shuah [land] and Zophar from Naamah [land]. When they heard about all the terrible things that had happened to Job, they left their home areas and went together to Job to console/comfort him [DOU].
Aa naho nahajanjiñe i fonga feh’ohatse nifetsak’ ama’ey ty rañe’ Iobe telo, le songa nienga an-toe’e t’i Elifatse nte-Temane naho i Bildade nte Sohe vaho i Tsofare nte Naamate, ie fa nifamotoañe te hiheo mb’ama’e hiferenaiñe vaho hañohò’ aze.
12 When they saw Job from a distance, they almost did not recognize him. They wailed loudly, they tore their robes, and they threw dust over their heads [to show how sorry they were because of what had happened to Job].
Aa ie nampiandram-pihaino eñe le tsy nahafohiñe aze vaho nipoñafe’ iereo ty fangoihoy; songa nandriatse ty saro’e naho nampibobo debok’ ambone’ ty añambone’e mb’ an-dikerañe ey.
13 Then they sat on the ground with Job for seven days. None of them said anything to Job, because they saw that he was suffering greatly, [and they did not think that anything that they said would lessen his pain].
Aa le nindre niambesatse ama’e an-tane eo fito andro naho fito haleñe iereo, sindre tsy nahakofòke volan-draik’ ama’e: amy t’ie nahaoniñe ty halozan-kaorea’e.
